A significant chunk of Louisiana Republicans evidently believe that President Barack Obama is to blame for the poor response to the hurricane that ravaged their state more than three years before he took office.
...
Twenty-eight percent said they think former President George W. Bush, who was in office at the time, was more responsible for the poor federal response while 29 percent said Obama, who was still a freshman U.S. Senator when the storm battered the Gulf Coast in 2005, was more responsible. Nearly half of Louisiana Republicans — 44 percent — said they aren't sure who to blame.

These troubling numbers suggest that a daily bombardment of propaganda can be quite effective in creating collective amnesia.

It reflects at least a partial realization of the ominous warnings provided by George Orwell in his classic novel, 1984.

For example, there is this passage covering the tasks performed by the protagonist, Winston Smith, within the Ministry of Truth. One of Smith's tasks was to alter past news articles, though that task, as officially described, was to "rectify" the old articles.

...it appeared from the Times of the seventeenth of March that Big Brother, in his speech of the previous day, had predicted that the South Indian front would remain quiet...As it happened, the Eurasian High Command had launched its offensive in South India...It was therefore necessary to rewrite a paragraph of Big Brother's speech in such a way as to make him predict the thing that had actually happened.

The vast majority of Louisiana Republicans do not blame GWB for the federal government's dismal performance in the aftermath of Katrina because they are bombarded, 24/7, with relentless propaganda from a vast, right wing echo chamber, which never associates that dismal performance with George "Heck of a job, Brownie" Bush.
